Poverty reduction database launched
Friday, October 7, 2011
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in Central Luzon launched recently its regional database for the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR).
DSWD Regional Director Adelina Apostol said the NHTS-PR is an information management system that identifies who and where the poor are in the country.
It uses the Proxy Means Test (PMT) in the selection of beneficiaries for social welfare programs and services.
Apostol added that the PMT is a statistical model that estimates household income using proxy variables included in the household assessment form (HAF).
Some of the variables used in the PMT are family composition, education of household members, housing conditions and access to basic services.
These variables were sourced out from the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) and Labor Force Survey (LFS) of the National Statistics Office.
A household whose economic condition falls on or below the poverty line would qualify for the specific programs and services of DSWD such as the Pantawid Pamilya, Self Employment Assistance-Kaunlaran (SEA-K), Social Pension and Cash-for-work (CWP).
Pantawid Pamilya provides cash grants of P1,400 per month during school months (June-March) and P500 per month during non-school months (April-May) to household beneficiaries as long as they comply with certain conditions like the regular visit of children in health centers to avail immunization and maintenance of a class attendance rate of at least 85 percent per month for those who are enrolled in day care centers or schools.
SEA-K, on the other hand, is a capability building program that seeks to enhance the skills of poor families through the organization of community-based associations for entrepreneurial development.
SEA-K group projects range from food processing (tocino, longganisa) to bag making.
The Social Pension program provides a monthly stipend of P500 to indigent Senior Citizens aged 77 years old and above who are not receiving any pension, without any permanent source of income and have no regular support from relatives while CWP recipients work on identified community projects for 11 days which earn them P3, 146 or P286 per day.
Among the projects beneficiaries work on include river dredging and embankment, repair of small scale irrigation and tree planting and other reforestation activities. (Charlene Cayabyab)
